F R I D AY, F E B R U A R Y 5 , 2 0 1 6 • 8 P M The St. Lawrence String Quartet blends dynamic performance with vivid color, performing more than 120 concerts per year in the U.S. and around the world. Coming off a 25th anniversary season, “the St. Lawrence are remarkable not simply for the quality of their music making, exalted as it is, but for the joy they take in the act of connection,” according to The New Yorker. Program includes Haydn Discovery: SLSQ explores a Haydn quartet in depth before performing the piece, allowing for a much deeper appreciation of its genius.

Named after the flame-haired priest Antonio Vivaldi, Red Priest has redefined the art of period performance, creating a virtual orchestra through its creative arrangements, swashbuckling virtuosity, heart-on-sleeve emotion and compelling stagecraft. Its repertoire ranges from obscure 17th century sonatas to the most famous works of Bach and Vivaldi, all presented in imaginative programs.
